I have no clue what point you're trying to make. what country should I blame for the insane spending habits of the US government?
This thread is on a domestic economic issue. blame America first usually involves an action by a foreign entity.

Why do you hate America?

It's unpatriotic to point out insane spending habits.

You're either with us or against us. So, love it... or leave it.

But, Obama is our president!

So it would be extremely unpatriotic to not offer him support and pray for him in these difficult times.

I offer him my full support. If he wishes to utilize my services to straighten things out I would be happy to help. While I am doing the dirty work he could run out with the NBC crew and pick up some burgers for us to eat since he has already shown a talent for being a gofer. Not much talent other than reading off the telepromptor.

And you can tell this after eight months??????????

What did you think of Bush after 8 months?

Reagan?

FDR?

What would the country have thought of Lincoln after 8 months?


The standards set for this president are ridiculous. He honestly can do no right with some people.

As far as reading off of the teleprompter, that puts him a leg up in front of your guy now doesnt it?

But yet your ideal president was Ronald Reagan? LOL

Good advice for Obama, he's the one who hates America.

No actually the standards were very low. And he has not exceeded them. He is a figurehead for the left who has never stopped campaigning.

Ronald Reagan was a penny pinching scrooge compared to Obama. I mean seriously you are kidding right?

No he doesnt hate America. He is just arrogant enough to think that he as the head of a much broader govt he will be able to provide a kumbaya style life to the oppressed paid for by the evil rich white males. He is more of a typical faux intellectual Harvard type than anything. Overeducated but polished. Worldly but clueless to the real world.

Of course, what a high roller he was.:rolleyes:

Funny how everyone becomes a historian and wants to discuss every other president in history, anything to avoid discussing the current mistake that resides in the White House.

He hates what America represents, he hates the qualities of America that I think are it's best assets. just like the Harvard types, just like his racist pal and liberation theology disciple reverend Wright, just like his mentor the communist Frank Marshall Davis, just like Bill Ayers the domestic terrorist, just like his soulmate and comrade Hugo Chavez, they all despise what America stands for. you don't see the hate, you only see the smooth exterior, but its there if you pay attention to what has been said and done.

so yes, he's motivated by his arrogance to think he can make America into something good, merely by the power of his personality.

Wow.

Now we actually have Cannon and ArlJim arguing with each other about how much the President of the United States hates America.

If I had to have someone in my corner, and this country's corner, I'd take Bill Ayers over Dick Cheney 24/7. The rest of what you wrote can be substituted for any Enron exec, Jeb Bush and Bush Limbaugh all day long.

No man...the point was that Reagan was a moron who followed his wife's tarot cards to make a decison. What a loser...

Right now the biggest moron is the guy who will jack up the deficit from $560 billion when he took office last January to $1.8 trillion by the end of this year......and over $10 trillion within 6 years if his healthcare and cap & trade, tax and destroy America go thru.

As for the original topic of the thread, Stocks, I've enjoyed this run up but have started taking money to the side in the past 2 weeks and will continue to do so. This rally is nothing more than a technical rally off extremely oversold lows from last March. The economy is still awful; banks aren't lending, consumers aren't spending (except for car buying now instead of 6 months or a year from now) and commodity prices are rising. The crash is coming. Not exactly sure when but I would guess sometime before 2010.

The economy definitely will NOT be back in 2 years. Barack will be one and done. His best shot at getting re-elected will be if his 2 big initiatives do not go thru.

Its even funnier that you would knock a guy about his fiscal responsibility and then hold Ronald Reagan up as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Al Gore may well have invented the internet but its safe to say that Ronald Reagan invented deficit spending or at very least perfected it.

Tarot cards would be a nice addition to this administration
